Liverpool Target Taiwo Set To Stay At Marseille

Marseille president Jean Claude Dassier insists defender Taye Taiwo will not be allowed to move to the Premier League this summer.

Taiwo, 25, has been linked with Tottenham and Liverpool, and former Marseille president Pape Diouf apparently told the player he would be allowed to move on.
However, Dassier, who replaced Diouf last summer, insists he has no intention of letting the Nigeria international go.
"It's done," he said. "He's staying with Marseille. He's a top player and he should be staying here. I don't know if the old president promised that he could leave, but that's not me."
